The idea of conduction such a poll is equivalent to endorsing the idea of teaching what is popular, not the consensus of those working in the field. Perhaps this does represent Conservatism as it has become.

"Conduction" should be "Conducting."

Yes, but somehow the poll topic become an issue in various political campaigns, so even though I think the whole thing is misguided, it's important to the success -- or failure -- of Republicans. For example: [Michigan Gov. Candidate] DeVos says he wants intelligent design taught in science classes.
